Summary

  • Five Swedish World Cup fans were helped back onto the road after a minor RV accident on I-37 south of San Antonio, with Atascosa County Deputy Chief Eric Kaiser and Texas DPS troopers responding.
  • The sheriff's office said everyone was unharmed and officers made sure the group was safe and "squared away" before continuing their trip.
  • The fans had flown into Dallas, rented the RV and were following Sweden across North America after already attending a 5-1 win over Tunisia in Monterrey.
  • The roadside assist became a small World Cup moment in Texas as the visitors told deputies they had only seen Texas sheriffs in movies before encountering one in Atascosa County.
